tek t5 4x54 retro wiring

[rsxs1212]

im pretty much lost here.. im 14 and trying to set this up.. the only diagram it came with was the ones on the ballast... and it is really small and hard to follow.. i was wondering whether anyone has this and has a picture or can describle to me what to do.. there is two different sets so if you just tell me how to set up one (2x54) i will be good for the other.. there are two yellow, two blue, two red.. the power cord is obviously very easy so i dont need that.. i just need to know which wires go into which endcap.. basically that is what i need.. a good description would be good or a picture or even like a color diagram but the tiny little lines that you have to follow to a thicker bar that is the lamp wont cut it for me

thanks

I'll try.

Yellow wires -
1) run one from yellow spot on ballast to left side of bulb 1 (down into groove in cap).
2) 2nd wire from right side of bulb 1 to left side of bulb 2.
3) Right side of bulb 2 into 2nd yellow spot on ballast.

Red wires -
1) from red spot on ballast to one side of bulb.
2) from other side of bulb to other red spot on ballast.

Blue wires -
same as red, but in blue spots on ballast

Good luck!

hmm the red and the blue seem simple.. the yellow is the problem.. my ballasts only came with two yellow wires.. they are both attached to the ballst when it came.. i got this new and it said it came with everything except bulbs to get going... the one im missing is the one that connects bulb 1 to bulb 2.. neither of the ballasts came with that..
